A page from the 1926 Curtis Woodwork catalog showing a dining room with built-in corner china closets on either side of a window bay.
Design characteristics
This illustration shows how built-in china closets were used in a real room: placed symmetrically in the corners, they frame a window bay and the dining table. The room's trim, doors and built-ins all share the same simple profiles. It is a useful guide for planning a dining room restoration in a Denver Square, where symmetry and matching woodwork are what make a room feel complete.
